Answer:

x>-5

Step-by-step explanation:

First, we need to isolate the variable. To start doing this we can add five to both sides. We now have -3x<15. We then have to divde by -3. When working with inequalites you flip the inequality sign when dividing by a negative number. That then leaves us without answer, x>-5.

Bad Investment After Mrs. Fisher lost 9% of her investment, she had $22,750. What was Mrs. Fisher's original investment?

stira [4]

Answer:

$2500

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that,

The lost percentage = 9%

Amount she had = $22,750

We need to find Mrs. Fisher's original investment.

As she had lost 9%, it means she will remain with 91% of her investment. Let the original investment is x.

So,

$91\%\ of \ x=22,750\\\\\dfrac{91}{100}x=22,750\\\\x=\dfrac{22,750\times 100}{91}\\\\x=\$25000$

So, her original investment is equal to $25000.

4. a) A ping pong ball has a 75% rebound ratio. When you drop it from a height of k feet, it bounces and bounces endlessly. If t

Klio2033 [76]

First part of question:

Find the general term that represents the situation in terms of k.

The general term for geometric series is:

$a_{n}=a_{1}r^{n-1}$

$a_{1}$ = the first term of the series

$r$ = the geometric ratio

$a_{1}$ would represent the height at which the ball is first dropped. Therefore:

$a_{1} = k$

We also know that the ball has a rebound ratio of 75%, meaning that the ball only bounces 75% of its original height every time it bounces. This appears to be our geometric ratio. Therefore:

$r=\frac{3}{4}$

Our general term would be:

$a_{n}=a_{1}r^{n-1}$

$a_{n}=k(\frac{3}{4}) ^{n-1}$

Second part of question:

If the ball dropped from a height of 235ft, determine the highest height achieved by the ball after six bounces.

$k$ represents the initial height:

$k = 235\ ft$

$n$ represents the number of times the ball bounces:

$n = 6$

Plugging this back into our general term of the geometric series:

$a_{n}=k(\frac{3}{4}) ^{n-1}$

$a_{n}=235(\frac{3}{4}) ^{6-1}$

$a_{n}=235(\frac{3}{4}) ^{5}$

$a_{n}=55.8\ ft$

$a_{n}$ represents the highest height of the ball after 6 bounces.

Third part of question:

If the ball dropped from a height of 235ft, find the total distance traveled by the ball when it strikes the ground for the 12th time. 

This would be easier to solve if we have a general term for the <em>sum </em>of a geometric series, which is:

$S_{n}=\frac{a_{1}(1-r^{n})}{1-r}$

We already know these variables:

$a_{1}= k = 235\ ft$

$r=\frac{3}{4}$

$n = 12$

Therefore:

$S_{n}=\frac{(235)(1-\frac{3}{4} ^{12})}{1-\frac{3}{4} }$

$S_{n}=\frac{(235)(1-\frac{3}{4} ^{12})}{\frac{1}{4} }$

$S_{n}=(4)(235)(1-\frac{3}{4} ^{12})$

$S_{n}=910.22\ ft$

Is 3 times 6 times 9 and 3 times<br> 6 times 9 equivalent

Fiesta28 [93]

3 x 6 x 9 x 3 x 6 x 9 = ?

3 x 6 =   18
18 x 9 =     162
162 x 3 =     486
486 x 6 =   2,916
2,916 x 9 = 26,244

3 x 6 x 9 x 3 x 6 x 9 = 26,244

kayden paddled a canoe to an island. the island is 8 miles from the shore. his trip to the island took two hours while paddling

Andrew [12]

Answer:

$2\text{ mph}$

Step-by-step explanation:

GIVEN: kayden paddled a canoe to an island. the island is $8$ miles from the shore. his trip to the island took two hours while paddling against the current. he paddles $6$ mph with no current.

TO FIND: what was the speed of the current.

SOLUTION:

distance of island from the shore $=8$ miles

total time taken by Kayden $=2$ hours

speed of Kayden in still water $=6\text{ mph}$

Let the speed of current be $x$

Speed of Kayden against current $=6-x\text{ mph}$

As,

$\text{Time}=\frac{\text{Distance}}{\text{speed}}$

$2=\frac{8}{6-x}$

$12-2x=8$

$x=2\text{ mph}$

Hence speed of current is $2\text{ mph}$

State the various transformations applied to the base function f(x)=|x| to obtain a graph of the function g(x) = |x| − 2.

Molodets [167]

Horizontal shift of 1 unit to the left and a vertical shift downward of 2 units.

<h3>Transformation of function</h3>

Transformation technique is a way of changing the position of an object on an xy-plane.

Given the parent function of a modulus function f(x) = |x|, the graph of the function g(x) = |x| - 2 shows a vertical translation of the parent function down by 2 units.

The resulting graph of the translated function is as shown below
